You’re right! Her work is outstanding and her site completely fails to do it justice. How are your website building skills? Can you convince her to start keeping a blog if she’s not already? You can completely modify a theme in Blogsome to keep it consistent with the rest of what you build for her. I don’t know how, but I’ll figure it out soon. My friend mark did this: http://thegamebox.blogsome.com/ and this: http://digikid.blogsome.com/ so I know it can be done. All the cool artists keep blogs. A good place to start looking at this (and at artist’s websites in general) is http://www.drawn.ca/. There are so many great artist’s sites linked to the Drawn! site (which is itself a blog).
So yeah, I think it is a great idea to do a site for her. She needs & deserves it, and it is a great way to get practice with the artist/client relationship without having the stress of real money being at stake. And it will make an excellent portfolio piece. As I’ve said many times before, the only thing a prospective employer cares about is can you prove to them that you can do the work? Having a website that you’ve built that has a happy client because of your work goes a long way toward that.
